This week the MCP is joined by guest host Mike Mucker and features special guest Matt Nelson, Executive Director of the Arizona Trail Association (ATA). The ATA is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect, maintain, enhance, promote and sustain the Arizona Trail as a unique encounter with the natural environment.
The Arizona Trial is 1 of 11 officially designated ‘National Scenic Trails’ in the US. It spans ~800 miles, South to North, across Arizona, from Mexico to Utah. The trail is supported by 100’s of ambassadors and stewards, 1000’s of volunteers, and 10’s of 1000’s of users each year. It is a multi-use trail frequented by mountain bikers, hikers, and equestrians. It offers, hands down, some of the most spectacular mountain biking in the Southwest United States and should, without a doubt, be on your bucket list to ride. Matt is an amazing leader, advocate and human. We like him. You will as well.
